Magnificent Female Wild Fox Sighting - Close-up

            8:30pm - At dusk   - Thanks to my wife who saw her first and my off leash chihuahua who played the unaware bait and was the result of this intense focus for several minutes (of course, as soon as we spotted her, we quickly catched our chihuahua in the safety of our arms) but she was still focusing on Jo (our Chihuahua)... So, I had this very rare opportunity to shot her portrait. What an amazing sighting in our favorite Bronte park: She was magnificent, Gracefully moving like a cat... I never saw a wild fox that close, and (thanks to its interest to my dog) who was willing to give me enough time to take a good picture.

For info: I missed a few shots because of the lack of light, so in last resort, I put the camera on a stone and after setting the shot carefully, I put a 2s timer autoshoot to avoid any move or blur .
